WFW ~ I Samuel 7:12 ~ Ebenezer

 

From ESV Study notes: “…this ebenezer recalls the earlier episode, when the Israelites tried to manipulate their God by carrying the ark into battle only to suffer a resounding defeat. Now God has given them a great victory over the same enemies. Samuel sets up a memorial stone with the name Ebenezer, “Stone of Help,” not only to commemorate the victory but also as a reminder of the different results brought about by presumption on the one hand and by repentance on the other.”

Till now the Lord has helped us. The saying means that the Lord had been with them all the way “to this place” or “to this hour.”

“Many a man proclaims his own loving-kindness and goodness, but a faithful man who can find? The righteous man walks in his integrity; blessed -happy, fortunate and enviable-are his children after him.” Proverbs 20: 6,7 (The Amplified Old Testament)

ABC’s of The Word ~ Heavens, Head, Honor, Hand

1 Chronicles 29:11-13 (English Standard Version)

11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all. 12 Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. 13And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name.
